Great Hanoi food tour

We were picked up from our hotel by our guide Mai Mai. She has excellent English and was friendly and informative. We are a family of 6 and the vegetarians in our party were well catered for. We had a great variety of stops with a short walk between them. Great tour!

Fantastic Food Experience

Bob our guide was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our needs. From the tour our appreciation of Hanoi’s food greatly enhanced. We also became comfortable walking down side streets and alleys to eat spectacular food. We highly recommend this tour.

Great Hanoi Street Food Tour with Bob – Amazing start to our Trip in Vietnam!

​We booked a street food tour with Bob during our time in Hanoi and had a really special experience. ​Bob is a very friendly and attentive guide who looked after all of us exceptionally well. He handled different dietary wishes and vegetarian options effortlessly. Instead of just taking us to the typical tourist spots, he brought us to local places we would never have discovered on our own. The food everywhere was amazingly tasty!! ​The tour felt very personal and was a lot of fun. A really special highlight was that Bob secretly organized a birthday cake for my son and surprised us with it, which was such a wonderfully thoughtful gesture. ​If you're in Hanoi and want to try great local food with a genuine, local guide, we can highly recommend Bob!
